Good charger at a good price.

It does exactly what it advertises. I've charged probably two dozen batteries on it so far with no issues, ranging from small 1s 500 mAh batteries to large 6s 5500 mAh batteries; it's done the job with each of them. Comes with a balance board included and a charging harness that will cover pretty much everything, as well as 2 bare leads to solder whatever connector you want. Only thing it doesn't cover out of the box is XT90, EC5, and the JST-PH 3 pin that's used with batteries like the E-Flite 2s 280mAh or other similar batteries commonly used in micro/UMX. I threw an XT-90 on it myself and just use an XT90 to EC5 adapter for anything with an EC5 plug. You will need to buy a separate harness like Part# EFLA700UM or something similar to charge the E-Flite UMX batteries. Don't try to just solder a JST 3 pin on the battery and charge it because you need to balance anything with more than 1 cell. The unit doesn't come with a fan and is just heat-sinked to the aluminum case. I like it because there is no noise, and I've not had any issues with overheating, even when charging a 6s for ~2 hours, although I'm not a power user so maybe on some really hot summer day after charging several batteries back to back it may start to warm up. Obviously you can spend 2-4x as much on something like a large Venom charger, but for most people who aren't charging tons of batteries every day this charger should be more than enough to suit your needs and it won't break the bank doing it.I've seen a review or two talking about this thing being junk and batteries exploding, but there is never any information other than "this is crap, it's dangerous, it could have burnt my house down." I don't know the specifics of those types of accidents, and obviously equipment can be faulty, but more times than not it is user error and not equipment malfunction that causes an accident. I shouldn't have to say this but these types of batteries aren't toys and require the respect they deserve when dealing with them. For example, if you were charging a 2500mAh 3s battery, were in a hurry or didn't pay attention to your settings and accidentally selected 4s and charged your 3s at 14.8 volts, or you didn't use the balance board, or you used the "Charge" option or "fast charge" instead of the "Balance" option, or charged your battery at a rate greater than 1c, or you didn't check the battery and charged a damaged or "puffy" LiPo, you're inviting trouble and you could very well be looking at an exploding battery. Equipment can be faulty, and people can make mistakes. So never leave your charging batteries unattended and always be mindful of what you are doing. When charging powerful batteries like what this charger is meant for, always use a fireproof/explosion proof charging bag, and never leave your charging batteries unattended. If you are new to the hobby of RC, have never used lithium batteries, or are unsure of how to handle powerful batteries, read the manual, watch some videos, educate yourself on the basics. There's no need to be scared of them, just respect the power they have and you won't have issues, or you'll be prepared for one if it happens.

Good charger for good price also I have a fun fact on charging.

So what I have to say starting off is that this is a solid charger! It charges... Well chraged my 1300 MAh 6s battery very well! from each cell being about 3.3 volts per cell at the start, it charged them (unti I unpluged it) all the way to 3.75 volts per cell, In a good time of 6 minutes! So some fast charging time! It feels mostly aluminum so the durability is good. It also comes with different wires for different chargers. But sadly It does not have a xt30 connector so I cant charge the battery on my Radiomaster Boxer. So beware If you have a xt30 connector to your battery. The buttons at first were a bit confusing, like I could not understand how to charge my battery. Until I learned that you have to hold enter for it to ask you if you want to charge and then you click enter again which would charge the battery.Fun fact I learned if your battery voltage is to low just swap from lipo charging to NIMH. And put the amplage about half of what you would charge a lipo with and charge it for about a minute, and then swap the charging back to lipo which would make the charger recognise every cell if it did not already, and it would bring the voltage up.Anyway for 50 buckarooos I think this is a solid charger for a beginner FPV pilot!

Has lots of features, hoping it keeps my batteries from puffing

I got this after losing a few airsoft batteries when a cheaper balance charger wasn’t doing the job. The settings aren't very intuitive, and the instructions aren’t very descriptive, but the features are useful. Unfortunately this won’t save batteries that are on the way out, but maybe it will keep the new ones from going bad.Unexpected, but to charge, both the balancing plug and the power plug are plugged in, which is new to me - I’m not exactly how this arrangement works, but it does report the voltage value of each cell when charging to 0.01 volts.However, if your battery is too far gone, it won’t even try; even a single dead cell will cause it to stop charging the pack.It has functions for charging, fast charging, full discharge, “storage”, and “balance”, and it allows for setting cutoff amperage, voltage, and auto-off timeouts. It has lots of connectors, maybe even too many; I suspect my button cells are the only ones this won’t charge. But even then there are blank wires on the harness, and blank pins on the board, should you want to attach a custom plug for your battery.I would have been better off getting this instead of the cheap charger from the beginning and guesstimating when the battery would conk out in the field. Would have saved at least $120 worth of batteries now puffed up and heading to hazmat recycling.

Tenergy battery charger.

I have used this to charge 6s 5000 Lipo batteries and it work great. No fan and it got warm, so time will tell.

Seems to work well

So far so good. The buttons interface does not seem to be exactly as described, but you will figure it out quickly. Balances the batteries nicely, but it may be slow if the cells are far out of balance.

I own 4 of these now.

I like these little chargers enough that I purchesed 4 of them. They do a great job of charging, discharging, balancing, etc. Very programmable as well, like cycle duration timeout, mAh charge/discharge limit in one session, and several other features. They are small, and with the power brick being close to the same size as the charger itself. They charge anywere from .1a to 5a. Storage charge is an option as well to what you program as storage voltage. 3.8v is default for storage voltage.Ended up getting 4 total, 2 for my go/parts/tool bag for on the road out in the field, and 2 for my bench at home that never move. Great value for 40 bucks. Also they run silently, no fans or anything. The they do have audible beeps when the cycle is complete.

Awesome and fast

So far it's amazing compared to the cheaper one I had that tools hours to do nothing .This charger got 3 2s lipos and a nihd battery done in like 3 hours .getting another for sure
